Numerical Performance Analysis of BaZrS <sub>3</sub> -Based MSM Vertical Photodetector
This study presents a comprehensive numerical modeling and performance evaluation of a BaZrS<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf>, perovskite-based, metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector using SCAPS-1D, demonstrating its strong potential for high-efficiency photosensing applications. By systematically optimizing the absorber layer's thickness and doping concentration, notable enhancements in responsivity and detectivity were achieved. Under 600 nm irradiation, the photodetector exhibits an impressive responsivity of 0.41 A/W and a high detectivity of 9.87 × 10<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">15</sup> Jones. These findings establish BaZrS<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> photo detectors as a promising, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative for next-generation optoelectronic and sensing technologies.
